Millennium Centre, Caherconlish, Co. Limerick

Due to holidays affecting turn out lately, we have decided to cancel tonight’s event. However, we are back Tues 16th for 3 final weeks which we hope will support those racing in the end of season calendar which is quite local in flavour with Shannon, Charleville and Kilmallock all featuring open races.

Limerick CC would like to thank all of the volunteers who made the 2016 edition of Rás Luimní a success. A special word of thanks to The Bike Shop in Limerick for their continuing sponsorship, as well as all the riders who travelled from near and far to make for an exciting days racing.

Club Images at Finish Line:

Welcoming all cycling enthusiasts, members and friends to a unique event. Depart Limerick City Centre at 5am, watch the sun rise during the coffee stop at Lough Gur, back home in time for a second breakfast!

Free to enter, but please bring a Cycling Ireland license (if you have one) in order to reduce insurance costs for the event. Sign on is from 4.40am to 04.55am outside Penney’s (O’Connell St., Limerick). Helmets compulsory.

We ask riders from Limerick CC and all other attending clubs to come out in your club colours so we can all promote our clubs and our sport. Hope to see you all there, please spread the word!

1. There will be a different finish line: the race will pass the existing finish line, turn left at the Birdhill roundabout, and finish part of the way up the hill towards the M7. The roundabout will, of course, be marshaled, but care must be exercised at the approach to, and exit from, the roundabout.

2. A two-race format will apply: one predominantly for active racers, and a second for sportive / leisure / beginners. Each will feature two groups, and the ‘faster’ race will start first – A3/4’s (or equivalent) followed by the regular ‘scratch’ crew; and then beginners followed by sportive / leisure.

These changes have been decided upon in order to limit the numbers in a bunch sprint for safety reasons – last week featured excessive numbers in the sprint.
